CBS, CBS Daytime

As the 2024-2025 broadcast television season closes out, CBS has retained its lead as the most-watched network in daytime for the 39th season (since the 1986-1987 season) and has won an impressive 1,500 consecutive weeks, the longest winning streak on record, according to Most Current and Season-to-Date ratings data released on Monday by Nielsen*.

CBS had the top three daytime shows led by “The Price is Right” (3.95 million) in first place followed by “The Young and the Restless” (3.29 million) in second and “The Bold and the Beautiful” (2.79 million) in third, with all three ranking among the top daytime programs for the 13th consecutive season (since the 2012-2023 season) or 571 of 615 weeks.

Factoring in the Most Current and Season-to-Date ratings for  “Let’s Make a Deal” (2.21 million) and “Beyond the Gates” (1.82 million), the network is averaging 2.76 million viewers overall.

“Beyond the Gates,” the newest series to join the daypart, is up +48% over former time slot occupant “The Talk.”

In terms of the network’s “weekly consecutive streak,” it should be noted that while the network’s streak started on October 3, 1988 during a period when Ronald Reagan was president and floppy discs were still the standard mechanism for saving data, the overall streak did see an interruption during the week of July 22-29, 1996 due to NBC‘s broadcast of the Atlanta Summer Olympic games. Since then, CBS has maintained its lead for 1,500 consecutive weeks, approximately 28 years and eight months.

While a breakdown was not provided, CBS is seeing across-the-board gains for each of its daytime dramas among streaming viewership, each up year-over-year and seeing double-digit lifts over their broadcast-only averages.

In addition to leading daytime as the most-watched daytime program season-to-date, “The Price is Right” has also ranked No.1 for 691 of the last 701 consecutive weeks. Similarly, “The Young and the Restless” continues to rank as the most-watched daytime drama series for more than 36 years or 1,878 consecutive weeks, a streak that excludes amended title weeks, those that deviated from the show’s official title, specifically repeats that aired under the “Young & Restless” moniker during the pandemic era.

Note*: All milestones include ties and data factoring in Live+Same Day and Live Pre-DVR before 12/26/2005, excluding breakouts, sustainers, specials, amended titles, and news programming except for “GMA3” variations. Milestones also do not include the week of 1/27/20, when most daytime shows were preempted for the Trump Impeachment Hearings, and the week of 10/29/12, when all programming was broken out due to Hurricane Sandy coverage.

    • Days of our Lives S60E204 – Thursday, June 5, 2025 Okay, today’s episode was kind of boring. It was nice seeing Jack and Jen back, but they wasted an entire episode on Jen chatting with Julie - one scene would’ve been enough. Also, why didn’t Jack and Jen go comfort Marlena? And wouldn’t a flashback with Jack, Jen, and John have been great? Maybe something from the Cruise of Deception era? Bottom line - it feels like once John’s memorial is over and the returning fan favorites leave Salem… the show’s going to be dull again.
    • Everything with Elon and Trump is a stunt. If people, and the sycophantic press, are talking about their "feud," they are not talking about Republican plans to gut Medicare, Medicaid, and the ACA. 
    • I can't fully remember, but I don't think they tried to get Beth Chamberlin back. I think Laibson/McTavish likely saw Beth as old news and wanted to move Philip on; either that or have her return only when Philip was closely tied to a new woman. Thanks as always for these recaps. I think I had stopped watching around this time and mostly kept up by reading in the soap magazines. Bridget's degradation was horrible to watch, as the character had grown so much over the years and was clearly regressed just to be a foil for a "hot" couple viewers had zero investment in. 
    • Having the majority of the cast on those low numbers is no way to tell story. And just 2 dayplayers for the month. So sad for the #1 soap.  
    • I believe it was. And this is actually one of the cases where I wouldn’t mind some dumb soap opera bringing back from the dead. They gave Mishael, Amanda, with all of Hilary’s connections but none of the personality except for fleeting moments. Hilary absolutely should’ve just left town. They decided to kill her and the baby. Just baffling,
    • That was Mal Young right? He thought a tragic death was a better option than crafting a story where Hilary leaves town. Was it a case of punishing someone who wants to leave? And then they have to jump through hoops to bring the actress back.
    • Ooo @TaoboiI will say I just watched Amanda give it to Abby and I loved it. Honestly just made me miss Hilary more. I will never understand or get over that decision to kill her off. Also call me crazy but I could definitely see the Damian actor playing NuTed on BTG. Very much still enjoying the Lily attraction.
    • I rewatched these episodes---they broke my heart. Somehow, Nola had seen Vanessa leave the hospital, and follows her home, and Maeve just lets out this primal scream---chills went down my spine. And knowing the history between them---never quite liking the other and always getting on each other's nerves (to put it mildly)---makes it a much richer to have them put it all aside in the moment and be family to each other. I've never seen/heard what Maeve thought of the story itself, but she did want a break, so it's not like she was fired and then brought back. Yes, Vanessa could be this stubborn and unwilling to ask for help. She'd pretty much always been an "I can do this on my own" type of woman, although when she first came to town, she would still run to Henry. But after she met Billy, she stopped relying on her father. It's part of the reason she (briefly) got addicted to pills after Bill's birth---she was determined to take care of him all by herself and became obsessed with the idea she was the only one who could. Of course, nothing before to this extreme. I should say, there's no way (IMO) they could've told this story---Vanessa letting her loved ones thinking she'd died---if her father Henry had still been alive. She never would've been able to do that to him. And it does chafe that she's letting Bill believe it, when her mantra had been all about protecting him since the day he was born. I honestly don't recall what I thought about it at the time. But now I'm thrilled she's free of Matt at least. LOL.
    • I had no idea Peter Reckell was 70. He doesn’t look or feel it and I guess I thought Bo and Hope were closer in age than 9 years. Wow even the new writers had to have Jack praise Leo. Melissa Reeves continues to slip back in effortlessly as Jennifer. I like Ari and Holly being old friends. Holly learning about John’s death reminded me of how John used to call her Nikki if my memory is serving me right. Doug who happily sleeps in high school Holly’s room shirtless and in his underwear is now asking about birth years. How old is he anyway?    The Cat and Chad romance is insulting. 
    • Her husband is Marty Levy. Chocolate Fortunes (her company) was started in 1987.  So that explains the mystery of 'Whatever happened to Pam Peters?' She had been running a successful business for decades.
